The phrase identifies motion pictures released in the year 2018 that were, at some point, accessible for viewing through the Netflix streaming service. This encompasses films initially produced for theatrical release, as well as original content created directly for the platform. An example would be “Roma,” a critically acclaimed film from that year that received wide viewership on the streaming service.
Access to a library of films from a specific year allows viewers to explore the cinematic trends, cultural touchstones, and artistic achievements prevalent during that period. For researchers, it provides a convenient archive for studying filmmaking techniques and societal narratives. The availability of these titles through a streaming service offers a cost-effective and readily accessible alternative to traditional cinema viewing or physical media purchases.
